ARGH! No offense, but how much flour is 2 3/4 oz? Ok, found out its about 1/2 cup....

I used left over roasted chicken diced and homemade chicken stock, and added 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1 clove garlic, diced very fine, 2 bay leaves, 3 carrots grated, 4 stalks celery diced, 1 small onion diced, 3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, before dumplings, then 2 cups cooked frozen peas at the end.

It ended up pretty good, but I will probably go back to just regular boiled noodles and matzo balls instead of going to the trouble of making the dumplings since I noticed my kids didn't go for seconds, which they normally do.

Quite good. Really liked the dumplings, but I've never had chicken and dumplings before and had no preconceived notions as to what dumplings should be. Like other reviewers I jazzed up the broth with mire poix thyme and rosemary, and I used leg quarters instead of a whole chicken. I would definitely make it again.

I added celery, onions and carrots to my stock. I also salted and peppered the chicken and browned it. My daughter ate 4 servings so this is a hit in our household.

I used the dropped dumpling recipe with my own chicken & dumplings recipe. I used a stewing hen from a local farm, carrots, celery, parsley, poultry seasoning, and a little chicken stock. I was skeptical about the dumplings, but they were fantastic. Not like my usual dropped dumplings but very flavorful. I will definitely make them again. Thank you, Alton.

I made this last night because let's face it, Alton is awesome. He has RARELY let me down. I grew up on Southern rolled dumplings and these were obviously made differently. He did give two different types of dumplings recipes, but I thought I'd try this for the simplicity of it. Even though I already make my own dumplings, my husband and I love to try Alton's recipes for the fun of it. We thought the dumplings were a bit on the.....fluffy (? side. However, like I said, I grew up on, and make, a completely different type of dumpling and I might just be set in my ways. With that in mind, the overall taste of the dish was fantastic. I can't say we'd make this again, but we did eat all of it and it was very simple to put together.

This is almost exactly like my mom (who is german thought me to cook chicken soup! Alton's dumplings are slightly different but very good and my hubby and I love it! Super easy to make.

I always add a whole Onion and bay leaves to the chicken (when its boiling and strain the broth at the end.

Seriously, watch this episode of Good Eats, becuase he shows 2 versions and states that these versions, dropped (this recipe and rolled are by preference (from his mother and mother-in law, not sure if thats true. I have done this recipe and liked it. If you don't like it don't call the recipe bad becuase the drop or rolled is a preferrence. If you don't like this one, then try the rolled (Titled: Chicken and Rolled Dumplings as I have tried both and both are good, but the dropped is alot easier and less time consuming in my opinion and the rolled are a firmer dumpling.

I trusted Alton Brown and was skeptical about the bad reviews of his dumplings, so I tried it. These were AWFUL! They were soft and mushy. We ended up fishing them out of the soup and I made my own from flour, eggs, and salt. Don't make these. SERIOUSLY!!

LOVED this recipe!! I added celery and carrot into the broth with the chicken, then dropped the dumplings in. Great dumplings. You have got to try this recipe.

This recipe was very good. Instead of cooking a stewing hen in a pressure cooker I just boiled a chicken then shreded it. I doubled the dumplings recipe and added a little extra broth, because I like the dumplings better than the chicken. 5 stars!!!
